Spiritual Awakening

"The day of my spiritual awakening,"
says the beguine mystic, Mechtild of Magdeburg (1210-1280),
"was the day I saw and knew I saw
all things in God and God in all things."

Albert Nolan, a Dominican priest from South Africa, is the author of Jesus Today: A Spirituality of Radical Freedom. Not many people address the developmental, spirituality or maturing process of Jesus - who was both fully human and God.

This book is a great end-read after 4 years of studying with Marywood Dominican Center. In some ways I wish I had read it first, but then again I may not have been ready to receive what it had to say.
